Reasons for
Decision

 

 

14.3.1

Debrief
and learning lessons post incident is standard national and local
practice and in line with the national resilience standards of
expectation, the learning shared as part of the attachments fulfils
this requirement.

 

 

14.3.2

Sharing these lessons
identifies across other agencies nationally is standard practice,
in line with the processes put in place via the Cabinet Office,
this will be achieved through sharing the learning resources
outlined at section 1.6 (b) of the report.

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

 

 

14.4.1

It is best practice, following
a major or significant incident to firstly identify learning to
enable responder agencies to update and amend any plans or
processes.  It is nationally promoted
this is achieved through a multi-agency debrief as was carried out
in following the significant gas outage at Stannington, Malin
Bridge and Hillsborough.  It is common
practice for this learning to be shared across different
organisations nationally that this experiential learning can be
applied in different regions.  The
Recovery Coordinating Group have developed products and tools to
further support this and offer a more immersive, realistic
“on the shelf” exercise.
